Org Sort doesn't seem to do anything, no docs!

Describe the bug When I launch Org Sort List it doesn't do anything! And I couldn't find anything in the docs to explain what it should do.

To Reproduce

  1. Put the cursor in a header
  2. Select Org Sort List from the command palette
  3. Nothing happens!

Expected behavior Like emacs I expected to be presented with a choice of how I want my items sorted

Platform: PC Win 11 ST4

** Sublime debug console output** None

Additional context None

See this section of the Org Manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Structure-Editing.html#index-C_002dc-_005e

C-c ^ (org-sort) Sort same-level entries. When there is an active region, all entries in the region are sorted. Otherwise the children of the current headline are sorted. The command prompts for the sorting method, which can be alphabetically, numerically, by time—first timestamp with active preferred, creation time, scheduled time, deadline time—by priority, by TODO keyword—in the sequence the keywords have been defined in the setup—or by the value of a property. Reverse sorting is possible as well. You can also supply your own function to extract the sorting key. With a C-u prefix, sorting is case-sensitive.
